The program provided a variety of resources for pre-college and college students to attract them to the health care field and prepare them for health professions education programs. Though it was based administratively at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the North Carolina Health Manpower Development Program was an inter-institutional program of the University of North Carolina System. By 1976, affiliated health careers centers had been established at Elizabeth City State University, North Carolina Central University, and Pembroke State University (later the University of North Carolina at Pembroke). The North Carolina Health Careers Access Program also worked closely with the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program (AHEC).

On April 22, 1985, Rebecca Clark petitioned the Mayor and Council to improve the condition of the west section of the old Chapel Hill Cemetery on Raleigh Road. A resolution was then passed establishing the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery Task Force which would present recommendations to the Chapel Hill town council. These recommendations would outline a master plan and workflow for maintenance, preservation and possible future development of the cemetery. In September 1986, a task force was appointed by the Town Council to create a master plan and recommendations for improvements to the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery. The task force was made up of Chapel Hill Preservation Society members and folks from the Chapel Hill black community, some of whom had relatives in the historically black eastern sections of the cemetery. In late 1987, the State of North Carolina transferred ownership of the cemetery from the university to the town and soon thereafter the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery Master Plan was completed and adopted by the Town Council. This master plan provided guidelines on how ongoing cemetery maintenance should be performed and included a list of recommended capital improvements that should be undertaken as funding became available. The task force struggled to come to a consensus in creating the plan as some members wanted to focus on maintaining historic integrity while others wanted to create a plan for beautification. Despite these challenges the master plan was adopted, and the town has implemented most of the recommendations since. Records consist of Task Force correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, research materials, proposals, master plan, and cemetery plot data. Also included are materials related to the Black Student Movement's 2001 call for restoration of gravestones in the African American section of the cemetery.

The Order of the Grail-Valkyries traces its origins to the fall of 1920, when the Order of the Grail was formed to bring together the university's fraternity and non-fraternity men. The order hosted informal dances to bring the two groups together, and it served the university by contributing the dance proceeds to scholarships for deserving students. In 1976, the Order of the Grail merged with the Valkyries, a group of university women who embraced the same ideals as the men of the Grail. Since 1941, the Valkyries had been the only campus honorary society that recognized extraordinary contributions of university women. The Order of the Grail-Valkyries funds scholarships from its participation in class ring sales; it also hosts lectures and inducts outstanding students into its organization.

Founded in 1987, UNITAS is one of several living-learning communities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that connect classroom learning with residence life. UNITAS has focused on building community, tolerance, and understanding among individuals of diverse backgrounds and spreading these values throughout the larger community. Its original purpose was to ease tension in black/white relations, but it has also worked to challenge stereotypes and prejudice based on identities such as gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation. As of 2012, UNITAS was jointly sponsored and supported by the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Housing and Residential Education, and the APPLES Service-Learning Program, with students required to take two three-hour courses in the Department of Anthropology and to participate in a service project during their spring semester.

The University Woman's Club was established at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1949 as an outgrowth of the University Newcomer's Club. Through teas, tours, excursions, dinners, and other activities, the club sought to foster closer social ties among university faculty wives and women staff members. The Newcomer's Club had been formed in 1939 and in 1969 became a division of the University Woman's Club. The purpose of the Newcomer's Division was to assist new faculty wives and women faculty and staff in becoming acquainted with each other, with the university, and with the Chapel Hill community. In 1987 the Newcomer's Division was disbanded and replaced by the Friends' Network and the Newcomer's Events Committee.

The University of North Carolina was chartered by the state's General Assembly in 1789. Its first student was admitted in 1795. The governing body of the University, from its founding until 1932, was a forty-member Board of Trustees elected by the General Assembly. The Board met twice a year; at other times the business of the University was carried on by the Board's secretary-treasurer and by the presiding professor (called president beginning in 1804). Other faculty members later assumed the responsibilities of registrar and bursar. The administrative structure of the University remained essentially the same until the twentieth century.

The project to have a portrait painted of Frank Porter Graham (1886-1972) was initiated by University of North Carolina students in 1949, and taken up again in 1953 through the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, not as an official act of the university, but as a project of friends of Graham. Records of the Frank Porter Graham Portrait Committee are comprised primarily of correspondence between Fred H. Weaver (1915-1972), Dean of Student Affairs and secretary of the committee, and D. Hiden Ramsey (1892-1966), chair of the committee, concerning negotiations for having the portrait painted. Also included are letters to prospective committee members and donors; correspondence with Dr. and Mrs. Frank Porter Graham; and documentation of arrangements for the unveiling ceremony and copies of the proceedings and speeches delivered at this ceremony on 19 May 1956.

Established in 1972, the University of North Carolina Association of Student Governments was founded and funded by students of the University of North Carolina system. Its mission has been to champion the interests and concerns of students at the campuses of the university system and to serve as liaison between the students and state government.

On 1 July 1972, the Consolidated University of North Carolina was expanded to include 16 campuses, and its Board of Trustees was replaced by the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors, made up of 32 members elected by the North Carolina General Assembly, was given responsibility for the general determination, control, supervision, management, and governance of all affairs of the constituent institutions. A preliminary Planning Committee met from January to June 1972 to establish the organization and functions of the Board prior to the Board's first official meeting on 7 July 1972.

With the creation in 1932 of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, which included the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina State College in Raleigh, and Woman's College in Greensboro, the North Carolina General Assembly appointed a new hundred-member Board of Trustees as its governing body. The records of the Board of Trustees of the Consolidated University of North Carolina (System) include minutes of meetings of the Board of Trustees and of its Executive Committee, 1932-1972; files of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Board pertaining to the work of various committees, 1932-1956; and files of the Board's Building Committee (UNC-CH), 1945-1953; Committee on Inauguration, 1950; Committee to Nominate a President, 1956; and Health Affairs Committee, 1955-1963. The Secretary of the Board of Trustees was responsible for correspondence, minutes, and general record-keeping. An Assistant Secretary worked closely with the University President's office, providing more continuity to the Board's records than had existed prior to Consolidation. These records include files of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary pertaining to the work of the Board's committees and containing mostly background material for reports to the Board or its Executive Committee. These are not the actual records of the committees. The Building Committee (UNC-CH) of the Board of Trustees studied and made recommendations on construction and property use at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Records, 1945-1953, include correspondence and other files of the Building Committee and its chair, Collier Cobb, Jr. More than half of these records deal with the construction of North Carolina Memorial Hospital and related projects. The Board of Trustees appointed the Committee on Inauguration in February 1950 to oversee planning for the inauguration of Gordon Gray as president of the Consolidated University in October. Records of this committee include correspondence pertaining to program details, sessions sites on each campus, speakers, and finances for the inauguration; inauguration programs are filed with the correspondence. Following the resignation of Gordon Gray as president of the Consolidated University, the Board of Trustees appointed the Committee to Nominate a President to recommend his successor. The Committee's nomination of William C. Friday was approved by the Board on October 26, 1956. Records of this committee include meeting minutes, suggestions, and comments on the qualifications for president, and data on the candidates considered. These records cover January through May 1956 only. The Health Affairs Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Trustees, advised and counseled the University administration on all matters concerning the Division of Health Affairs at the Chapel Hill campus. Records of this committee include files of George Watts Hill, who chaired the committee, 1957-1972. Files include committee correspondence, minutes, and other materials related to planning for programs and facilities.

Along with its other duties, the Division of Legal Affairs was involved in the desegregation of the University of North Carolina system. In 1970, the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare notified the University of North Carolina System that it was violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by maintaining a racially dual system of public higher education. In response, the university began drafting a desegregation plan. Eight years of draft submissions, revisions, rejections, self-studies, and negotiations followed. The matter was finally resolved through an administrative proceeding that began in 1980 and ended with a consent decree in 1981. Implementation of the provisions of the consent decree continued for a number of years.

Established in 1972, the University of North Carolina Faculty Assembly serves as a faculty advisory board on system-wide issues of the University. It was founded at the request of UNC President William Friday. Records consist of meeting materials, correspondence, resolutions, and petitions.

The Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) is a center for transportation safety research. The Center was established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1965 at the recommendation of Governor Dan K. Moore and opened at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1966. Research produced by the HSRC has been instrumental in a number of safety-related policy changes and initiatives in North Carolina, including changes to the minimum legal age for bus drivers, graduated driver licensing, the child passenger safety law (1981) and seat belt law (1985), and the "Click It or Ticket" seat belt use enforcement program, started by the HSRC in 1993.

The position of vice president for planning was created in 1972 in conjunction with North Carolina's reorganization of higher education. The vice president for planning was responsible for assisting the president in planning for and documenting the long-range future character of the university system and all of its constituent institutions. Cameron P. West was the first to hold the position. West had been the director of the North Carolina Board of Higher Education, a position that was phased out as a result of the reorganization. Records are chiefly those of John L. Sanders, who was vice president for planning from 1973 to 1978. They deal with the university's desegregation plan, state aid to private colleges, and planning for state-supported education in the fields of law, nursing, and veterinary medicine. Of particular interest are files related to the accreditation of North Carolina Central University's School of Law and to the decision to build a veterinary school at North Carolina State University rather than at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. A few items date from Cameron West's tenure as director of the North Carolina Board of Higher Education, but are relevant to the files in these records.

The Vice President for University Relations of the University of North Carolina (System) advised the President on matters involving, and served as liaison with, the Trustees of the System, the North Carolina General Assembly, agencies of state government, and other outside agencies with which the University had official relationships. The office originated in 1950 as Assistant to the President and was subsequently called Secretary of the University, Vice President for Administration, and then in 1966 Vice President for University Relations.

In 1996, the name of Pembroke State University was changed to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

The position of Secretary of the University was created in 1955 chiefly to act as liaison with the System's Board of Trustees. William C. Friday was the first Secretary, when the System included the University at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State, and the Woman's College in Greensboro. After Friday left the position in 1956, it remained empty until Frederick H. Weaver's appointment in 1961. In 1964, the position was abolished. In 1965, the universities at Asheville and Charlotte were added to the System. The position of Secretary was reinstated when the University System expanded to 16 campuses in 1972 and the Board of Trustees was replaced by the Board of Governors. John P. Kennedy, Jr., filled the position in 1972. Because the Secretary's duties were performed by others when the position was not operative, files similar to the Secretary's may be found among the records of the Vice Presidents for Finance and for University Relations.

The UNC Exchange Program was formed in 1997 and was responsible for creating study abroad exchange partnerships between the UNC system and university systems outside of the United States. The program was discontinued in 2016, transferring responsibility for active system-wide agreements to individual campuses.

From 1968 to 1972, the University Advisory Council served as liaison between the President of the University of North Carolina (System) and the faculties of the constituent campuses. Consisting of the chancellors and the faculty advisory committees of the individual campuses, the Council expressed faculty attitudes on matters of systemwide policy. In 1972, with the reorganization of the University System, the Council was reconstituted as the Faculty Assembly.

The association has provided a wide range of services to patients and hospital staff as well as outreach to the community.

The University of North Carolina Press was incorporated as a non-stock company in 1922. Its original purpose was threefold: to publish periodicals devoted to the research and writing of University of North Carolina faculty; to publish catalogs and other documents for the University; and to promote the arts, sciences, and literature by publishing generally deserving works. Throughout its history, the Press has been especially strong in the areas of southern history and literature. Although supported in part by the University, the Press remained administratively independent until 1951, when it was brought under the supervision of the University of North Carolina System's General Administration. Today the Press is a major publisher of scholarly journals and books.

Noncommercial television began in North Carolina on 8 January 1955, when WUNC-TV, Channel 4 (Chapel Hill) went on the air. The station was licensed to the University of North Carolina system.

The vice chancellor headed the new Information Technology Services (ITS), which absorbed the earlier offices that had managed academic and administrative computing and networking, namely, the Office of Information Technology, Administrative Data Processsing, and the Office of Telecommunications. Later that year, the Office of Information Technology and Office of Telecommunications merged to become Academic Technology and Networks. In 2004, Academic Technology and Networks, Administrative Information Services, and Systems and Procedures were brought together under the ITS organizational structure.

The collection consists of 135 volumes containing financial records of the University from 1927 to 1987. The majority of these records were created and maintained by the University's Accounting Department. Some of them, however, predate the formal organization of the department, which did not occur until the 1940s. All of the records are accountings of the University's state-allocated budget; they offer no information about the internal organization or administration of the Accounting Department itself. They include records of allocations and expenditures on capital improvement budgets and maintenance funds. They are not, however, a complete record of the University's finances for the period they cover.

Administrative Information Services was first established in 1967 as Administrative Data Processing.

Baseball and football were the most popular sports for many years, but after World War II, basketball eclipsed baseball. As the number of teams and the interest in them increased, so did the administrative operation of athletics. In 1947 the first director of sports publicity was hired. Later the Sports Information Office was established. The name of the office went through several permutations before becoming the Athletic Communications Office sometime after 2000.

The university's official observance of its Bicentennial began in August 1993 and ended in June 1994. Planning for it, however, began in the early 1980s. The Bicentennial Observance Planning Committee, appointed in 1985, set goals for the celebration. In 1987, the Bicentennial Commemoration Planning Office was created to carry out detailed planning and implementation of events. Within the next year, the name of the office was changed, first to Bicentennial Observance Planning Office, then to Bicentennial Observance Office. William P. Massey was appointed general secretary of the Bicentennial and was put in charge of the office. When Massey left the university in 1991, Steven J. Tepper, who had been assistant general secretary, assumed direction of the office's day-to-day operations. Tepper's title became associate general secretary, then executive director of the Bicentennial Observance. The Bicentennial Observance Policy Committee served as the advisory body to the office. The office was disbanded at the close of the Bicentennial celebration on 30 June 1994.

The Black Student Movement (BSM) formed in November 1967 in response to the slow pace of African American enrollment at the university and the dissatisfaction of black students with the campus chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). One of the organization's main goals was to become the voice for African American students at the university. In December 1968, it presented to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson a list of demands, including increased admissions of black students, the creation of a department of African and Afro-American studies, and better treatment of non-academic employees. In 1997, on the thirtieth anniversary of its founding, the Black Student Movement presented Chancellor Michael Hooker with a list of demands, including a declaration by the chancellor of his support for a freestanding black cultural center. The BSM also organized many events and activities for African American students at the university and fostered subgroups engaged in dance, theater, gospel singing, and other cultural programs. As of 2013, it remained one of the largest student organizations on campus.

The Clinical Epidemiology Resource and Training Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was established in 1986 as the fourth training center in the International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN). INCLEN was created in 1980 as a project of the Rockefeller Foundation and became an independent organization in 1982. It sought to improve health care in the developing world by training clinicians from developing nations in research methods and sending them back to their home countries to conduct research in Clinical Epidemiology Units (CEUs). The Clinical Epidemiology Resource and Training Centers (also called Clinical Epidemiology Research and Training Centers), or CERTCs, coordinated with the CEUs at INCLEN member institutions, and each CERTC received reports from and provided input to the CEUs. The CERTC at UNC-Chapel Hill was administratively part of the School of Medicine but worked in close collaboration with the School of Public Health. In the mid-to-late 1990s, INCLEN underwent a reorganization, after which responsibility for training was transferred to medical schools in the developing countries. Funding for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill CERTC's training program ended as of 30 June 1997.

In 1970, the Department of Residence Life was created, and the Housing Office was incorporated into it. In 1973, the Department of University Housing was established.

The Department of Art was created in 1936. Originally its curriculum was limited to art history; later, courses in studio art were added. The chairman of the Department of Art was also the director of the university's art museum until 1974, when the museum became a separate administrative unit. Established in 1937, the art museum was first located in Person Hall. In 1958, a new building was completed with funds from the bequest of William Hayes Ackland. The museum then moved and was renamed the William Hayes Ackland Memorial Art Center; in 1979, its name changed again, to the Ackland Art Museum.

Intercollegiate athletics at the University of North Carolina began in 1884 with a baseball game against Bingham Military School. The position of director of athletics was established in 1915 to provide oversight for intercollegiate sports. Beginning in 1937, the director of athletics was also the chair of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics. In 1938, the Educational Foundation was established to support the athletic program by raising funds for facilities and scholarships. During 1954-1955, the Department of Physical Education and Athletics was divided into the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Athletics, the latter assuming responsibility for intercollegiate sports. Also at that time, the director of athletics began reporting directly to the chancellor. There were no official intercollegiate women's teams at the university until the early 1970s. In 1974, the women's intercollegiate athletics program became part of the Department of Athletics.

The Office of the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance was responsible for overseeing the financial transactions of the Department of Athletics, managing the accounts of each intercollegiate athletic team, and compiling a departmental budget based on information from the individual units within the department.

Courses in botany were taught as early as 1880, but not until 1902 was the first professor of botany hired. Thereafter Botany became a separate department and remained so until 1982, when it merged with the Department of Zoology to form the Department of Biology. The North Carolina Botanical Garden was an administrative unit of the Department of Botany from its establishment in 1952 until 1982, when it became a separate unit. Records consist mainly of correspondence and memoranda of the department chairmen and annual reports from the department.

The Department of Dramatic Art was established in 1936. Prior to that, instruction in the history of theater and comparative drama was given in the Department of English. In addition to its academic instruction, the new department produced plays and supported dramatic efforts. The Carolina Playmakers, founded in 1918, became its production unit. In 1976, the Carolina Playmakers was reorganized as the PlayMakers Repertory Company, a semi-professional theatrical company. Subsequently, the Laboratory Theater, which formed about 1971, assumed the production of student plays in the department. The Carolina Dramatic Association, begun in 1922, was a cooperative program of the Department of Dramatic Art and the University Extension Division's Bureau of Community Drama. The Institute of Outdoor Drama was founded in 1963 as an affiliate of the department; its purpose was to promote the production of outdoor drama in the United States.

Instruction in English language and literature dates to the founding of the university. The Department of English was so named by the university's Board of Trustees in 1901. It began to take on its modern form during the chairmanship of Edwin A. Greenlaw (1914-1925). Under Greenlaw, a freshman composition program and an honors program were organized, courses in speech were expanded, new courses in drama and playwriting were developed, and a comparative literature curriculum was offered. A number of these courses later formed the basis for new departments. Studies in Philology, the university's longest-running journal, was first published in 1906 by the Philological Club. Though it has never been officially recognized as a program of the Department of English, its editors have always been members of the department; and thus its records are among those of the department. In 2006, the Department of English absorbed the Curriculum in Comparative Literature, forming the Department of English and Comparative Literature.

The Department of Physical Education and Athletics was created in 1935. By the 1938-1939 academic year, both an undergraduate major and a master's degree program had been established. Initially the department included both academic instruction in physical education and the previously existing intercollegiate athletics program, but by the mid-1950s, these two branches had begun to operate autonomously, and the academic program became known simply as the Department of Physical Education. In 1980, efforts began to modernize the department's curriculum. These included multiple attempts to establish a Ph.D. program. During this process, the department's name was changed from Department of Physical Education to Department of Physical Education, Exercise, and Sport Science. In 1999, it was again changed to Department of Exercise and Sport Science.

The Department of History was established in 1891, though courses in history had been taught prior to that. In 1920, its name changed to Department of History and Government to reflect the addition of political science to the curriculum. In 1935, when the Department of Political Science was created and the government courses previously taught as part of the history curriculum were transferred to it, the name of the Department of History and Government reverted to Department of History.

The Department of Naval Science was established in 1940 as the Department of Naval Science and Tactics. It operated in conjunction with a unit of the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps and was a direct result of the university's decision to aid the war effort by offering military training. Its name was changed to Department of Naval Science in 1945, and after the war it became a permanent part of the curriculum. Since 1972 the department's course offerings have been coordinated through the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense. Records include correspondence and reports, as well as articles and clippings related to the Department of Naval Science and to the Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. Included is material relating to military training during World War II and later, to the establishment of the department as a permanent part of the curriculum, and to the restructuring of the department after the creation of the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense as a result of student protests during the Vietnam War.

The Department of Philosophy of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is responsible for the university's undergraduate and graduate curricula in philosophy. In 1967 the department, in cooperation with the university's Extension Division (later the Division of Extension and Continuing Education), began sponsoring the annual Chapel Hill Colloquium in Philosophy.

The Department of Physics was officially established in 1907, although courses in natural philosophy, as the subject was called through most of the nineteenth century, had been given as part of the mathematics curriculum since about 1820. In 1973, the name of the Department of Physics changed to Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Until 1993, the Department of Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures was the academic department that provided coursework in the broadcast media. It was established in 1947 as the Department of Radio. Its name changed in 1954. Throughout its early history, the department was closely allied with the Communication Center, created in 1945 to centralize the production of audio-visual media on the campus. The department and the center shared equipment and facilities; and the departmental chairman served as the director of the center. The Department of Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures was eliminated in 1993, and its curriculum was absorbed by the Department of Communication Studies and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The University of North Carolina's first course in recreation was offered in the Department of Sociology in 1921. By 1941, several courses designed to prepare students for careers in recreation leadership were being offered. Beginning in 1955-1956, two recreation-related graduate degrees were offered: the master of arts in sociology with emphasis on recreation leadership and the master of science in recreation administration. Though most of the courses for the master of science degree were in sociology, some were in other departments. Thus, the Curriculum in Recreation Administration was established. It was housed initially in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, then in the School of Education (1968-1974), and then in the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1986, the name of the curriculum was changed to Curriculum in Leisure Studies and Recreation Administration. In 1998, the curriculum became the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies. The department was dissolved in 2004, and its curriculum was transferred to the Department of Exercise and Sport Science.

The Design Services Department created publicity and executed design work for university projects and departments. The Department used photographs from various sources, including the Library's University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Image Collection.

The Development Office was located administratively in the Division of Development and University Relations.

The Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate was formed in 1959 in an initially unsuccessful effort to reverse the decline of the University of North Carolina's historic Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. Membership increased in the 1970s as a result of publicity and special programs. Records of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate include meeting minutes; correspondence; committee records; financial records; membership lists; constitution and bylaws; publicity materials; and pictures, some of them 19th-century images of former members of the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. Audiovisual materials include a 1997 documentary about the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies.

The University's Bureau of Extension was established in 1913 with Louis Round Wilson as Director. In 1921, its name changed to Extension Division.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill put its first affirmative action plan into effect 1 July 1973. In September of that year, the chancellor appointed an affirmative action officer and advisory committee. Douglass Hunt, who served as the first affirmative action officer, was also vice chancellor for administration. There was no full-time officer or separate Affirmative Action Office until January 1981. In November 1995, the name of the office was changed to Equal Opportunity/ADA Office. The affirmative action officer reports directly to the chancellor.

The position of executive vice chancellor was created in 1995 by Chancellor Michael K. Hooker to serve as the chancellor's chief of staff, coordinating daily activities of the chancellor's office and serving as advisor, planner, and troubleshooter on matters across campus. In addition to handling routine management functions of the chancellor's office, the executive vice chancellor oversaw the divisions of Business and Finance (including Auxiliary Services, Facilities Services, and Human Resources), Student Affairs, and University Advancement as well as the area of information technology. Elson S. Floyd served as executive vice chancellor from September 1995 until his resignation in July 1998. The vacant post was not filled, and the position was later eliminated. Records consist mainly of correspondence and reports reflective of the cross-campus issues addressed by Floyd as executive vice chancellor, 1995-1998. Of particular interest are files related to financial and budgetary matters, information technology, land use planning, student affairs, and race and personnel issues involving the university's housekeepers and groundskeepers. A few files contain background information dated 1994.

The University's Facilities Planning and Design Office was created in 1959 as the Planning Office and was given responsibility for evaluating space need requests and facilities use and for developing plans for both new buildings and renovations. (Once plans were final and a contract was awarded, responsibility for a specific project moved to the University's Construction Administration Department.) In 1974, the Planning Office was reorganized and its name changed to Facilities Planning Office. In 1987, the name was modified to Facilities Planning and Design Office. The responsibilities of the office, however, have remained basically the same.

The Faculty Club was organized as the Men's Faculty Club on 18 February 1939. Membership was open to all University of North Carolina faculty and staff. Women were admitted as associate members until 1954, when the club's constitution was amended to provide for equal membership. At its monthly luncheon meetings, the club was addressed by speakers on topics of faculty interest. In April 1981, the club disbanded for one year due to declining membership and lack of interest. For two years thereafter the club met informally without rules or dues. The club was reactivated in 1986. Records of the Faculty Club include its constitution and bylaws, minutes of meetings of its Board of Governors and committees of the board, lists of members of officers, treasurers' records, presidents' reports, programs and publicity, and correspondence.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Faculty-Staff Recreation Association was incorporated on 9 January 1968 as a nonprofit organization. The establishment of the asssociation resulted from the findings of the Faculty Council's Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Social and Recreational Facilities. Upon recommendation of the Standing Committee on Faculty Welfare, this committee was appointed on 21 February 1966 to inventory available facilities and to gauge faculty interest in favor of expanded programs. The recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee were accepted and a Special Committee on Social and Recreational Facilities was appointed to implement them. Among the most important of these recommendations were the establishment of a nonprofit corporation to oversee the organization and operation of a social and recreational center and the acquisition of land for such a center. On 27 November 1967, the Special Committee held an organizational meeting at which a Board of Directors and a Charter of Incorporation were approved for the the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Faculty-Staff Recreation Association, Inc.

The Fine Arts Festival, organized in 1964 by the student government, presents to University of North Carolina students a view of the world of fine arts in action by bringing together creators, performers, and critics. Festivals were held biennially beginning in 1965.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had its first intercollegiate football game in 1888. In the 1930s, it began filming its football games to provide coaches with a means to evaluate and train players and to review strategic plays. Beginning in 1990, games were recorded on videotape.

The General Alumni Association of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded in 1843 as the Alumni Association. It met each year during commencement until 1860, when it disbanded. The association reconvened in 1872 and resumed its annual meetings in 1878. The Alumni Association was reorganized in 1911 and again in 1922, when the name became General Alumni Association. The association's central office, headed by its director (formerly secretary), has always been located on the university campus and has been responsible for organizing reunions and other alumni activities, maintaining alumni records, raising funds for the university through appeals to alumni, producing periodic alumni directories, and publishing the Alumni Review.

The university's earliest Laws and Regulations, adopted by its Board of Trustees in 1795, defined the duties and rights of the faculty. Formal faculty meetings have been held since at least 1799; the amended Laws of the University adopted by the trustees in December 1799 included guidelines for the conduct of such meetings. Throughout the antebellum period, the faculty was responsible for enforcing social as well as academic regulations and for handling cases of student misconduct. After 1875 the faculty assumed an increasing role in establishing policies governing educational activities and the awarding of degrees by the university. The Faculty Code of University Government, originally titled Faculty Legislation, was adopted by the General Faculty in 1947 and has been amended numerous times. In 1950 the General Faculty authorized the creation of the Faculty Council to act as its legislative body. The council, composed of elected members from the various faculty divisions and ex-officio members from the university administration, held its first meeting on 5 January 1951. Officers of the faculty include the chair and the secretary. The university's chancellor presides over meetings of the Faculty Council. Much of the Faculty Council's work is carried on by its standing and special committees.

The Graduate History Society was organized as the Graduate History Club in 1952. Membership was open to all History Department graduate students and faculty members. The stated purpose was to stimulate intellectual and social fellowship among history students at the university and to build up an esprit de corps that shall bind them together in their professional careers. Activities of the society included discussions of student concerns, guest lectures, seminars, picnics, and student-faculty teas.

While retaining his position as professor in the Department of English, Blyden Jackson served from 1973 to 1977 as Associate Dean of the Graduate School and from 1977 to 1981 as Special Assistant to the Dean of the Graduate School. Although his title changed, his duties remained essentially the same; they were to promote the recruitment and retention of minority graduate students and to work with the university's Student Aid Office to secure scholarships and fellowships for graduate students.

The Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF) was founded in 1971 by graduate students at the university to represent their needs and interests to the Student Government and the university administration. It soon was recognized as a quasi-independent organization within Student Government and was granted seats in the student legislature. A particular interest of the federation has been ensuring that graduate students are not overlooked in the allocation of students fees.

The Health Sciences Library (HSL) was established as a unit of the Division of Health Affairs at the University of North Carolina in 1952. However, it was not named Health Sciences Library until 1968. It served as the central library for the University hospital and the division's five schools (Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health) and their associated programs. Myrl Ebert (1913-2001) served as director of the HSL from its founding until her retirement from the University in 1975. She led the effort to develop the new library building, and she was also involved in the creation of MEDLARS, the biomedical bibliographic retrieval system that later became the online database MEDLINE. Records consist of correspondence and other files related to the development and operation of the Health Science Library, including annual reports, budget and grant materials, committee materials, minutes of HSL department heads and council meetings, departmental reports, salary information, newsletters, and a 1973 self-study. Also included are files relating to the development of the new library building in 1970, to the development of MEDLARS, and to the UNC Literature Exchange (UNCLE). Early files are those of Myrl Ebert, director of the library, 1952-1975.

The University's Health and Safety Office grew out of the Radiological Safety Office, which was established in 1960 to oversee the handling of radioactive materials on the campus. The Health and Safety Office was created in 1974 to ensure compliance with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act and is responsible for safety standards involving fire, industrial hygiene, and hazardous substances as well as general public safety. The Office is also responsible for scheduling periodic worker health examinations, inspecting safety equipment, and processing worker compensation claims.

The honors program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was established in 1954 within the College of Arts and Sciences to serve academically gifted freshmen. In 1958, the Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded the honors program with a five-year, $100,000 grant to expand its offerings. The position of assistant dean for honors was created in 1967 to increase recruitment efforts, and by the end of the decade, more than 100 freshmen were being admitted yearly to the program. In 1979, a faculty committee produced a report that evaluated the program and made recommendations for its future expansion. During the 1990s, Associate Dean for Honors Robert C. Allen oversaw the $5.7 million renovation of the Graham Memorial building and the creation of the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence (JCUE). JCUE was housed in Graham Memorial and became the home of the Honors Office when the building opened to the university community in the fall of 1999. In fall 2011, the Honors Office was renamed Honors Carolina.

Information Technology Services Teaching and Learning (ITS-TL) provides instructional technology applications and integration to support the University’s academic mission. In 2005, as part of a reorganization within Information Technology Services, the Center for Instructional Technology of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was absorbed into ITS-TL. The CIT no longer exists as a distinct organization, but many of its functions and activities are handled by ITS-TL.

The Institute for Research in Social Science is the oldest institute of its kind in the United States. It began in 1924 with a grant to the University by the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Foundation. In 1927 it became a permanent institute of the University with Howard W. Odum as its Director. The original purpose of the Institute was to sponsor and to publish research on social and economic conditions in the South and on the role of local government in promoting public welfare. Records include orrespondence and other files relating to the administration and programs of the Institute for Research in Social Science, including correspondence of Howard W. Odum. Also included are correspondence of Rupert Vance as research professor, 1938-1952, and files pertaining to the Center for Urban and Regional Studies, which began as a program of the Institute. In addition, there are 186 audiocassette tapes of various social science lectures and panels, most sponsored by the Institute under the title IRSS Colloquium, from 1983 to 1987. Although the scope of the Institute's research is no longer limited to the South, these records pertain primarily to the South.

The Institute of Government was established in 1932 to provide training, consulting, and research services for state and local governments in North Carolina. It is one of the oldest university-based organizations of this sort in the United States and has gained distinction for the comprehensiveness of its programs. Although Albert Coates, who directed the Institute from 1932 to 1962, was on the faculty of the University's School of Law, the Institute was independent of the University until 1942, when it officially became an administrative unit. Currently the Director of the Institute reports to the Provost of the University.

The Institute of Latin American Studies was established in 1940 as the Inter-American Institute; it kept the latter name until 1947. The Institute's initial purpose was to expand the university's research materials on Latin America. Its first major program was the School for Latin Americans, which it ran from 1941 to 1945 and which brought scholars from Latin America to the Chapel Hill campus. From its beginning, the Institute has received significant funding from foundations, allowing it to expand its programs and activities to include curriculum development, aid to graduate students, support for travel by scholars, publication of research, and the planning and coordination of conferences. Currently the Institute is organized as a program in the College of Arts and Sciences and is administered by a director and advisory board.

The Institute of Marine Sciences was established in 1947 as the Institute of Fisheries Research. It was made possible largely by the efforts of R. E. Coker, chairman of the University of North Carolina Department of Zoology, and by a grant from the Knapp Foundation. The name of the institute changed to Institute of Marine Sciences in 1967.

The Acquisitions Department, formerly the Order Department, was responsible for the receipt and routing of new materials for the library. The two main components of the department were the Order Section and the Gifts and Exchanges Section. The head of the department reported to the Associate University Librarian for Technical Services. The Order Department was formally organized around 1924 and continued to be known by that name until the late 1950s, when it became the Acquisitions Department.

From 1901, when Louis Round Wilson became University Librarian, until 1961, the Library's financial records were maintained by the Librarian or one of his assistants. In 1961 the position of Business Manager was created and given responsibility for financial matters.

In 1933, stimulated by the depository acts of the early 1930s, the University Library formed a public documents department. In 1935, the Social Sciences Reading Room was created and made a responsibility of the Documents Department. Later the Business Administration and Economics Library was established. In 1957-1958, these entities were brought together as the Business Administration and Social Sciences Division, of which the Documents Department became a section. During the 1975-1976 academic year, the Division name was changed to Business Administration and Social Sciences Reference Department. Effective 1 January 1993, the Business Administration and Social Sciences Reference Department and the Humanities Reference Department merged to form a single department, named the Reference Department.

Prior to the development of the card catalog system, the Library's holdings were listed in ledger books. The Catalog Department was formally organized around 1924, after the card system had been in use for a number of years.

Until 1983 the Collection Development Department of the Library was known as the Bibliographic Services Department. It evolved as staff were needed to assist the Chief Bibliographer in the selection of materials and management of book funds. The position of Chief Bibliographer was established in 1957.

The Gifts and Exchanges Section of the Library's Acquisitions Department received and routed materials acquired by gift or by exchange with other libraries and agencies. Until the late 1950s, the Acquisitions Department was known as the Order Department. During the 1920s and 1930s exchanges seem to have been a function of the Periodical, Exchange and Binding Department. When gifts and exchanges became a formally organized unit of the department is difficult to determine.

The Library's Reference Department was formally established in 1924 to handle inter-library loans, provide access to the non-circulating reference collection, and prepare bibliographic aids. During the 1957-1958 academic year, its name was changed to Humanities Division and, during 1975-1976, to Humanities Reference Department. Effective 1 January 1993, the Humanities Reference Department and the Business Administration and Social Sciences Reference Department merged to form a single department, again named the Reference Department.

The Manuscripts Department had its origin in the establishment of the Southern Historical Collection in 1930. A collection of mostly private manuscripts from the states of the former Confederacy, the Southern Historical Collection was assembled by Dr. J. G. de Roulhac Hamilton, who became its first director. Though housed in the University Library, the Southern Historical Collection was supported through its early years by grants and donations. In the 1940s, however, it began to receive partial support from the Library, and gradually it was integrated into the Library's administrative structure. In 1958, the Library created a more comprehensive unit called the Manuscripts Department, and made the Southern Historical Collection part of it. From 1958 to 2008, the Manuscripts Department administered not only the Southern Historical Collection, but also the Southern Folklife Collection, General Manuscripts, and the University Archives and Records Service. A reorganization of the Library's Special Collections, effective 1 July 2008, eliminated the Manuscripts Department from the administrative structure.

The North Carolina Collection is a special collection of the University Library; its purpose is to acquire and preserve all published materials dealing with North Carolina. Louis Round Wilson began developing the collection shortly after he became University Librarian in 1901, and in 1917 he hired Mary L. Thornton to be its first curator. The history of the North Carolina Collection as a distinct unit of the library dates from that time.

The North Carolina Union Catalog grew from the Joint Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, created in 1933 by the University of North Carolina and Duke University. The libraries of the two schools agreed to copy and exchange catalog cards for their holdings. In 1937, North Carolina State College added copies of its cards to the University of North Carolina file, which then became the union catalog. By 1957, 15 libraries were contributing cards. The University of North Carolina Library continued to house and maintain the union catalog, which became the chief bibliographic tool of its Interlibrary Center, estabished in 1958 to check interlibrary loan request against the Library's catalog and the union catalog and to refer requests as appropriate. By the early 1970s, over 100 libraries in the state were contributing cards. In 1977, the catalog was moved to the State Library of North Carolina.

Prior to 1850 the university library was a very small collection of books. The student debating societies, the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies, each maintained a larger library made up of volumes purchased by the student members. Not until 1885-1886 were the society libraries incorporated into the university library. Until 1901 the responsibility of operating the library was assigned to a faculty member, who worked in cooperation with members of the Dialectic and Philanthropic societies. Louis Round Wilson, who was university librarian from 1901 to 1932, was the first librarian to devote his full time to maintaining and developing the library. Even in Wilson's day, however, the collections were not centralized. Because of space constraints in the main library, numerous departmental libraries grew up. Two of these, the Law Library and the Health Sciences Library, became administratively separate. Today the University Librarian oversees the main and special library collections and co-administers a number of departmental libraries.

The Library's photoduplication program began in 1938, when a microfilm camera was purchased for filming legislative journals in the Documents Department. The volume of filming increased rapidly, and more equipment was purchased. By 1952 the Photoduplication Service was established as a separate unit in the Library; its name soon changed to Photographic Services. In 1982 Photographic Services was reorganized and placed under the direction of the North Carolina Collection.

The Library's SPA Forum was proposed and planned in the summer and fall of 1993 before being formally established in the spring of 1994. Its purpose was to raise the profile of SPA staff members in the day-to-day operations of the library and to serve as a forum for the concerns, knowledge, and experience of those staff members. Forum members were elected from divisions composed of the various library departments. Beginning in May 1994, the forum held monthly meetings to discuss topics such as employee appreciation, health and safety, employment resources, position review, and others that related to SPA employees.

Until 1972, the Library Staff Association was the only campus organization for librarians and other Library staff. It sponsored both social events and programs aimed at professional development. In 1972, the Librarians' Association at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (LAUNCCH) was established for professional librarians, leaving the Staff Association as an organization of mostly non-professional Library employees. The Staff Association ceased to function in 1996, although it was not formally dissolved until 1999. The majority of its functions had been assumed by various committees.

The Staff Development Committee of the Academic Affairs Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is appointed by the Library's director and charged with coordinating training and development activities for Library staff, excluding orientation of new staff, microcomputer assistance, and training in computer searches.

All of the websites include active links to web pages of other Chapel Hill campus and university system entities.

The #SilenceSam collected tweets contain tweets harvested from the Twitter (https://twitter.com) social media platform. During the 2017 to 2018 academic year, students and other activists organized protests calling for the removal of the Confederate monument (known as Silent Sam) on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. The protests began with a rally on 22 August 2017 and a subsequent continuous sit-in until 31 August 2017. The following year, on August 20, 2018, a rally protesting the monument was held on McCorkle Place and on Franklin Street. Protestors toppled the monument at approximately 9:20pm on August 20, 2018. Activists and others from the community were also active on Twitter using two primary hashtags, #silencesam and #silentsam. Also included in this collection are captures of a few related hashtags (#boycottunc, #boycottunctownhall, #iaarchat) two Twitter accounts (@Move_Silent_Sam and @dailytarheel). The protests are ongoing as of December 2018 and the data in this collection represent only a snapshot of the tweets from August 2017 through December 2017, May 2018, and August 2018 through September 2018.

The university's Master of Public Administration Program was established in 1966 to offer the MPA degree.

The position later assumed responsibility for additional units, including the Food Service, other university conference centers (Quail Roost and the William Rand Kenan, Jr. Center), the Internal Audit Department, and Trademark Licensing. Records include correspondence, operating reports, budgets, and other files pertaining to the various units that reported to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business. Individuals who have held the position and who figure significantly in these records include John L. Temple and Charles C. Antle.

H. Holden Thorp (1964-) was the chief administrative officer of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1 July 2008 until 30 June 2013. Records include binders containing Chancellor Thorp's daily appointment calendars, a list of boards on which he served, and office files that document policies, initiatives, innovations, and other current events in academic and administrative units across campus and relationships with organizations external to the university.

The position of dean of students at the University of North Carolina was established in 1919 and was assigned responsibility for matters related to student welfare. In 1933, the Division of Student Welfare (later the Division of Student Affairs) was established with the dean as its head. The dean continued to be head of the division until 1977, when the position of vice chancellor for student affairs was established. Subsequently, the Office of the Dean of Students was redefined; it reported to the vice chancellor and was chiefly responsible for matters of student conduct and for assistance to students with problems or concerns. As of 2011, the Office of the Dean of Students continued to educate the university community about policies and regulations related to student life and student conduct. The office served as a point of reference for students with concerns about their campus experience and provided services and programs to assist students in dealing with problems.

Women were first admitted to the University as graduate students in 1897. In 1917, Clara S. Lingle was appointed Adviser to Women. She was succeeded in 1919 by Inez Koonce Stacy, who held the office until 1946 and during whose tenure (1942) the title of the office became Dean of Women. Katherine Carmichael succeeded Dean Stacy and served until 1977. In 1972, the office of Dean of Women was abolished, and Dean Carmichael was appointed Associate Dean of Student Affairs for Supportive Services. The latter office inherited none of the functions of the Office of the Dean of Women; nevertheless, these records contain several annual reports of Carmichael as Associate Dean for Supportive Services.

Until 1989, the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies was also the dean of the Graduate School with administrative responsibility for the Graduate School and the Office of Research Services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The office of dean was established in 1903. In 1932, when the Consolidated University of North Carolina was created, the dean of the Graduate School at Chapel Hill became dean of the Consolidated Graduate School and assumed oversight of graduate programs at the three campuses of the consolidated system. The dean was also adviser on graduate studies to the North Carolina College for Negroes. In 1969, the dean of the Graduate School became vice chancellor and dean and, in 1987, vice chancellor for research and graduate studies and dean of the Graduate School. The administrative responsibilities remained virtually the same. In 1989, the vice chancellorship was eliminated and responsibilities for research and graduate studies were divided between two sssociate provosts. In 1992, it was reestablished as the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies; and the dean of the Graduate School became a separate position.

The university's utilities system began in the 1890s with the construction of a water plant. At that time, the town of Chapel Hill lacked resources to provide complete utilities service to its residents and to the university. Consequently, the university became the developer and eventually the supplier of all utilities to the town. This arrangement continued until 1976-1977, when the university sold its public utilities. After the sale, the university's Utilities Division remained responsible for the maintenance and distribution of utilities on campus. The position of Superintendent of Utilities was created in the 1920s to oversee the operation of the utilities; the title changed to Director of Utilities in 1965. Records include files of the Superintendent, later Director, of Utilities relating to the operation of the university's electric, telephone, and water and sewer utilities. Files consist largely of reports on the status and operation of the utilities. Also included are materials relating to the Regional Solid Waste Task Force, which investigated refuse disposal and recycling in the 1980s.

The Executive Vice Provost is a position reporting to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Executive Vice Provost oversees core university functions including those related to academic personnel and interdisciplinary initiatives. Previously the Executive Associate Provost, the position title was changed to Executive Vice Provost 2011. The position was expanded to include the duties of Chief International Officer later that year, and now serves as the head of UNC Global and leads the University's international initiatives and partnerships. Records consist of files kept by Executive Vice Provost and Chief International Officer Ron Strauss.

The Provost is the university's chief academic officer, serving as liaison between the Chancellor and various deans and directors. Since its creation, this position has had administrative oversight responsibilities for the Division of Academic Affairs (established in 1954), and before 1966, was variously known as Chairman of the Division of Academic Affairs, Dean of the Faculty, and Vice Chancellor of the University. In 1965-1966 and since 1997, the Provost has also had oversight responsibilities for the Division of Health Affairs. In November 1988, the Office of the Provost was reorganized and charged with consolidating oversight for all educational activities at the university. The Provost became Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, while the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs became Vice Provost/Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. This arrangement lasted until April 1996, when a general reorganization of the university's administrative structure took place. At this time, the title reverted to Provost, and the position no longer shared responsibilities with the Vice Provost/Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, who became the Vice Provost for Health Affairs. The Vice Provost for Health Affairs was eliminated in 1997, when the Provost assumed responsibility for both Academic Affairs and Health Affairs.

The position of registrar was officially established in 1886 to handle student admissions and grade records. In 1930, the title of the position became dean of admissions and registrar. In 1942, it became registrar and examiner; the registrar at that time had administrative authority over the Central Office of Records and the newly created Office of Admissions. In 1947, the registrar's position was eliminated, and the directors of the Central Office of Records and the Office of Admissions were placed directly under the chancellor. In 1954, the Central Office of Records was placed within the new Division of Student Affairs; in 1961, it was reorganized and named Office of Records and Registration. Finally, in 1969, the Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was established and given authority over the Office of Records and Registration. The Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was eliminated in 1984. The current positions of registrar and director of institutional research, because of much administrative reorganization, are not true successors to the previous office.

From the founding of the university through the nineteenth century, academic record-keeping was the responsibility of the secretary of the faculty. Originally student exams were oral, and no grades were given. The secretary of the faculty maintained a record of student absences from chapel, recitations, and class sessions. At the end of each term, the Committee on Visitation of the Board of Trustees met on the campus and administered the oral exams. By 1835 a system of grading had evolved and written exams were in use. In 1886 the Board of Trustees created the position of registrar, but the position was assigned to the secretary of the faculty until 1916.

The position of Vice Chancellor for Administration was created in 1973 and had responsibility for several university-wide functions that previously had been under the direct supervision of the chancellor's office. These included student admission and enrollment, financial aid, and personnel management. The position was eliminated in 1980.

In 1965, under Chancellor Paul Sharp's reorganization of the campus administrative structure, a vice chancellorship for advanced studies and research was created with responsibility for all graduate studies and research activities. The new position was assumed by Professor of Physics Everett D. Palmatier. In 1967, however, the position lapsed; and its responsibilities were reassigned.

The Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance had administrative responsibility for the university's Division of Business and Finance, which consisted of the units that handle the university's budget, facilities planning and capital improvements, maintenance of buildings and grounds, security, personnel and property matters, and routine business operations. The position of Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance evolved from that of Business Manager, created in 1921 and known successively as Controller, Assistant Controller, and Assistant Controller and Business Manager.

The Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs has administrative responsibility for the university's Division of Student Affairs, which provides extracurricular programs and services for students and oversees student organizations and activities. The Division of Student Affairs was established in 1954; it replaced the former Division of Student Welfare, which had been established in 1933 to promote and coordinate the work of all university agencies affecting student welfare. The Office of Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs was not created until 1977. This record group, however, contains papers of all the university officers who have been responsible for matters of student welfare. The titles of those officers have been Dean of Students, 1919-1945; Dean of Men and Chairman of the Division of Student Welfare, 1946-1947; Dean of Students, 1948-1954; Dean of Student Affairs, 1954-1977; Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, 1977-1980; Vice Chancellor and Dean of Student Affairs, 1980-1997; and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, since 1997. Prior to 1966 the Division of Student Affairs also oversaw the offices responsible for academic records and student aid.

The Vice Chancellor for University Advancement has administrative responsibility for the university's Division of University Advancement, which includes the offices responsible for the University's private fundraising and for the management of its relations with its various external constituencies. The university's unified development program began in 1952 and was reorganized in 1973 as the Division of Development and Public Service. In 1980, its name changed to Division of University Relations, and, in 1985, it became the Division of Development and University Relations. In 1995, the position of Vice Chancellor for Development and University Relations was eliminated by incoming Chancellor Michael Hooker, but it was reestablished in 1996 as Vice Chancellor for University Advancement.

Responsibility for the University's graduate programs and for research administration has, at times, resided in a single office and, at other times, in separate offices. Prior to 1965 and again from 1978 to 1989, the Dean of the Graduate School had responsibility for both research administration and graduate programs. From 1969 to 1989, the Dean also had vice chancellor status. In 1989, as a cost-saving measure, the vice-chancellorship was eliminated, while the deanship was retained in a position titled Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate School. Another position, titled Associate Provost and Dean of Research, was created to handle research administration. The latter was filled by Mary Sue Coleman in 1990. In 1992, Chancellor Paul Hardin recreated the vice-chancellorship as Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research and appointed Coleman to it. Upon Coleman's departure in 1993, Linda L. Spremulli became interim Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research. Campus administrators decided then to re-establish the dual role of vice chancellor and dean. Thus, when Thomas J. Meyer assumed the position on 1 July 1994, he was Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research and Dean of the Graduate School. In April 1996, Chancellor Michael Hooker implemented a campus-wide administrative reorganization. The units within Graduate Studies and Research remained the same, but the title of Thomas J. Meyer's position changed from Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research to Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Research.

The Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs (later Vice Provost for Health Affairs) was administrative head of the university's Division of Health Affairs, created in 1948 as the Division of Health and Medical Affairs. It consisted of the schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health and centers, institutes, and programs engaged in research and public service, including the Carolina Population Center, the Child Development Institute, the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center, the Research and Training Center on Blindness, and others. The vice chancellor was also the liaison between the chancellor and the various deans and directors of these units. From its opening in 1952 until 1956, North Carolina Memorial Hospital was administratively under the administrator for Health Affairs. From 1956 to 1971, it reported directly to the dean of the School of Medicine; since 1971, it has been governed by an appointed Board of Directors. In April 1996, the vice chancellor's title changed to Vice Provost for Health Affairs. In 1997, the position was eliminated, and the division's various units began reporting to the university's provost. The records include correspondence and other files relating to the administration of and programs in the Division of Health Affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Annual reports of the schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Public Health date to the 1930s. Of particular interest are files, 1946-1963, relating to the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, a state agency that promoted hospital construction, medical education, and health insurance for rural citizens. Also of interest are files, 1965-1975, concerning the East Carolina University-University of North Carolina Cooperative Committee on Medical Education, which helped plan the School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Division of Health Affairs heads who figure significantly in these records include Henry Toole Clark Jr., G. Philip Manire, C. Arden Miller, Cecil G. Sheps, Christopher C. Fordham, James R. Turner, and H. Garland Hershey. The Addition of January 2013 includes files of Vice Provost for Health Affairs H. Garland Hershey, chiefly 1996-1997, and some files of Associate Provost Edward F. Brooks, 1997-2001. Brooks assumed oversight of the day-to-day operations of the Health Affairs units following Hershey's resignation.

Women's tennis at the University of North Carolina began in the 1930s as an intramural club for female undergraduates. Somewhat later, the club began to host extramural games. A true intercollegiate women's tennis program did not exist, however, until 1970-1971, when the university became a charter member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Tennis was one of six varsity teams for women established at that time. Records consist of the files of Kitty Harrison, who coached the team from 1976 to 1998. They consist chiefly of individual and team performance records and files related to matches and tournaments. Also included are scrapbooks containing team-related clippings, photographs, press releases, and personal memorabilia compiled by Harrison; team and individual photographs; and Harrison's speech at her 2004 induction into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame.

One Act is a student group that provides training and advocacy services aimed at preventing sexual assault and interpersonal violence on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Sponsored by Student Wellness, One Act also receives support from Campus Health Services, Counseling & Psychological Services, and the Office of the Dean of Students. One Act developed its training curriculum in early 2010 and hosted its first training session in late 2010. A separate curriculum specifically for Greek life was added in early 2013. One Act actively collects data on bystander intervention from student participants and has published a scholarly article based on this information. These records consist of One Act meeting minutes from February 2014 to March 2015.

The Organization for African Students Interests & Solidarity (OASIS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was a student organization devoted to the appreciation of African culture and the fostering of unity among students of African descent. Known as AFRICA in 1981, the group later changed its name to the African Student's Association before settling on OASIS in 1996. As of 2011, OASIS was made up of several subgroups, including dance and acting troupes, a public service group, and a student publication. Among the annual events OASIS organized was Africa Night, which offered African food, entertainment, and scholarly speakers on a range of topics.

The Parachute Club of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, also known as the Sport Parachute Club, was founded in 1968 by students Francis J. Hale III and Robert A. Bob Bolch. Members performed jumps at Raeford Airport in Hoke County, N.C., and later at the Carolina ParaCenter in Roanoke Rapids, N.C. Club members competed in both individual and team jumps, and were judged on landing accuracy and style. The club hosted the North Carolina Collegiate and Open match at Roanoke Rapids, N.C., in 1973, and sent a team to the National Collegiate Championships in 1972 and 1973. The club acquired equipment at their own expense and received donations from parachute clubs at Fort Bragg, N.C.

The Philological Club was formed on 20 January 1893 by faculty members of the University of North Carolina's departments of Language and Literature to stimulate original research in philology. With membership open to faculty members and advanced students in the language departments, the club met monthly to review philological journals and for discussion of related topics. In 1906, the club inaugurated its quarterly Studies in Philology. Throughout its history, the club has been closely allied with the Department of English. Records of the Philological Club include minutes of meetings, summaries of papers presented, membership lists, correspondence, and financial accounts.

The university's Physical Plant Department was created in the mid-1930s and assigned responsibility for the operation and maintenance of campus facilities and grounds and for the provision of utilities. Those functions previously had been performed by a separate Buildings Department and Grounds Superintendent. By the late 1990s, the functions of the Physical Plant Department had been absorbed by Facilities Services.

The Planning Council was established in 1974, after a university self-study revealed the need for it. The Council was chaired by Professor C. Hugh Holman (1914-1981), who had directed the self-study. Its charge was to coordinate and draw up, along with the University Priorities Committee and the Advisory Planning Board, a five-year plan for the University for 1975-1980. With the completion of this plan in October 1984, the Planning Council was asked to continue indefinitely. Professor Holman remained chair until December 1978; and during his tenure, the Council formulated three more five-year plans, covering the periods ending 30 June 1981, 1982, and 1983. The Council issued subsequent plans covering later periods. The Planning Council was disbanded in 1984 with the creation of the Assistant to the Chancellor for Planning, who now has responsibility for planning.

Founded to provide a source of encouragement and information to students intending to pursue a career in law, the Pre-Law Club functioned as an information exchange for facts about the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), law schools, and the legal profession. In addition, many club meetings featured talks given by lawyers, politicians, and law professors in order to provide professional guidance to undergraduates interested in a career in law. Records of the Pre-Law Club include its constitution, correspondence, a membership list, minutes, material about agitation for establishment of a pre-law advisor, and other items.

The Program in the Humanities and Human Values was established in 1979 as the Program in the Humanities for the Study of Human Values. Its name changed in 1984 to Program in the Humanities and Human Values. Originally part of the Division of Extension and Continuing Education, it became part of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1988. Since its inception, the program has offered public lectures, seminars, and other programming drawn from the humanities and designed to promote a more humane understanding of the world.

The Program on Aging, established in 1982, was part of the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It grew directly out of the school's 1979 federally funded Geriatric Curriculum Development Project. When the project ended, the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated funds for an ongoing Program on Aging. During its brief history, the program obtained a number of training and research grants and provided consultation to public and private agencies. It also developed the Geriatric Education Center in conjunction with the university's Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Social Work and the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program. In 1989, the program's educational and research activities were absorbed by various departments of the School of Public Health, and the program ceased to function as a separate entity.

The Program on Southern Politics, Media and Public Life was established at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1997, largely through the efforts of Ferrel Guillory, who became its director. Its mission was to serve the people of the state and region by informing the public agenda and nurturing leadership. The program operated out of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication but worked closely with the Center for the Study of the American South. In 2003, it became an administrative unit of the center. On 1 July 2006, its name changed to Program on Public Life. The program was discontinued effective 30 June 2010 because of budget cuts that followed the 2008 economic recession. Guillory, however, remained on the faculty of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where he continued some of the activities of the former program.

The university's Property Office (originally Property Division) was created during the 1969-1970 academic year to oversee transactions involving the acquisition, sale, and leasing of real property. Other responsibilities included the inventory, care, and repair of the university's museum items and historic furnishings and the management of insurance coverage (except employee benefits).

The Proposal Development Initiative (PDI) began informally in the fall of 1994 with efforts by administrators in the university's Division of Graduate Studies and Research to encourage new research proposals. By January 1995, the PDI was formally established with a part-time director. On 1 May 1996, a full-time director was appointed. PDI assumed several of the responsibilities previously assigned to the Office of Research Services, chiefly assisting researchers in developing structural and funding strategies. The director of the Proposal Development Initiative reported briefly to the Associate Vice Chancellor (later Associate Vice Provost) for Research Development, then directly to the Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Research. Sometime in the mid-2000s, the name of the Proposal Development Initiative changed to Office of Research Development.

The Library's Rare Book Collection had its origin in the establishment, in 1929, of the Hanes Foundation for the Study of the Origin and Development of the Book, which was made possible by an endowment from the family of John Wesley and Anna Hodgin Hanes. The Hanes endowment enabled the Library to acquire a fine colleciton of incunabula, which became the core of its rare book holdings. Other endowments were later obtained and valuable collections added, including collections of Shakespeare, Johnson, Boswell, Dickens, and Cruikshank. In 1952 the Library's rare books were brought together in a new Rare Book Room. Lawrence F. London became the first full-time Curator of Rare Books in 1959 and served until 1975.

The University Research Council was created in 1945 to promote and supervise research by the university's faculty. Originally the council was also charged with pursuing government and foundation support for research. In 1957, however, the University Development Program assumed responsibility for the latter; and in 1965, the creation of the Office of Research Administration further limited the functions of the council. As of 1983, the University Research Council administered four funds from which it made small grants to faculty members. These funds were the Alumni Faculty Research Fund, which is allocated by the Development Office; the Faculty Research Fund, which comes from state appropriations; the Smith Research Fund, established in 1924 from the bequest of Robert K. Smith; and the Pogue Endowment Faculty Research Fund.

The Research Laboratories of Anthropology of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the first academic center to study North Carolina antiquities, was founded in 1939 as the Laboratory of Anthropology and Archaeology in conjunction with a statewide archaeological survey co-sponsored by the Works Progress Administration, the University of North Carolina system, the Archaeological Society of North Carolina, and several other state agencies. Its name changed to Research Laboratories of Anthropology in 1948 and to Research Laboratories of Archaeology in 1997.

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was chartered in 1968 and became active in 1971. Its membership consisted of all students living in campus dormitories and other university-recognized housing. Its purpose was to bring to light the concerns of those students and to enhance their residential experience. As of 2011, the association remained active and was one of the largest student-run organizations at the university.

The Retired Faculty Association of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was organized in 1986 to provide a means for retired faculty and their spouses to maintain a connection to the university and the academic world. The association provides information on retirement privileges and benefits and holds meetings featuring talks on topics of interest to members.

The School of Dentistry of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1949, and the first classes were admitted in the fall of 1950. As of 2012, the school offered a full array of degree programs in the fields of dentistry and oral medicine, including nine master of science degree programs, two Ph.D. programs, several certificate programs, and the Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. The school's Office of Academic Affairs, which reported to the Office of the Dean, was the unit responsible for administering academic programs.

The School of Dentistry of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1949. The school's Office of Institutional and Community Relations administered the continuing education program, which was funded through the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program (AHEC).

The university began offering courses in education in 1877 and established the Department of Education in 1907. In 1913, the department became the School of Education. In 1932, the department was again created; it remained a department until 1948, when it once more became the School of Education. Today the School of Education offers both baccalaureate and graduate degree programs; it is administered by a dean, who reports to the university's provost.

Library science was first offered in the university's summer school shortly after the turn of the century. In 1931 the School of Library Science was established to offer a baccalaureate program in librarianship. It was the second such school in the Southeast. In 1951 a master's degree program was established. In 1987 the name of the school changed to School of Information and Library Science.

The Alumni Association of the School of Information and Library Science (School of Library Science until 1987) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded in 1936 as the North Carolina Library School Association. It assists the school in welcoming new students and in providing scholarship support, internship opportunities, career information, and job placement notices. It also sponsors reunions of the school's alumni and publishes a newsletter. Records include correspondence and other files relating to the activities of the Alumni Association, including its constitution, annual reports of the president, minutes of the annual business meeting, minutes of the Executive Board, and treasurer's reports.

Courses in journalism at the University of North Carolina were taught in the Department of English beginning in 1909. In 1924, the Department of Journalism was established. In 1950, it became the School of Journalism. The school was renamed School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1990 to reflect the expanded scope of its curriculum. The school offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.

The university established its first professorship of law in 1845. By 1894 the School of Law had become a fully integrated part of the university, and students who completed a prescribed program received the LL.B. degree. Between 1902 and 1908 the school was called the Law Department; thereafter its name reverted to School of Law.

The Medical Alumni Office was created to gather records on the alumni of the University of North Carolina's School of Medicine, from the founding of the school in 1879 to its centennial in 1979, and to publish an alumni directory in conjunction with the centennial celebration.

The Centennial Committee was appointed in April 1976 by the Dean of the School of Medicine to plan the observance of the school's centennial in 1979. For two years following its organizational meeting in June 1976, the committee worked to produce a program that included a series of lectures on the history of medical education, a celebration of North Carolina Memorial Hospital's silver anniversary, the appointment of distinguished professors, and the selection of distinguished service award recipients. The program culminated in a convocation in February 1979. Later a centennial alumni directory and a history of the School of Medicine were published.

The dean is the chief administrative officer of the university's School of Medicine. Founded in 1879 by Thomas W. Harris, the school was originally private, although its courses in the basic sciences were taught by the university. From 1890 until 1896, the curriculum was only nine months long and was intended to prepare students for entrance into degree-conferring medical schools. In 1896, the program expanded to two years; and from 1902 until 1910, a four-year course was offered, with the last two years devoted to clinical subjects in Raleigh. The Raleigh branch was discontinued in 1910, however, and the school reverted to a two-year program until 1946, when on the recommendation of the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, the Board of Trustees of the university approved a four-year school. The new University Medical Center, including the expanded School of Medicine and the newly constructed North Carolina Memorial Hospital, opened in 1952. From 1956 to 1971, the director of the hospital reported directly to the Dean of the School of Medicine. The School of Medicine is part of the university's Division of Health Affairs, established in 1948. Until 1997, the dean reported to the head of the division, who, for most of that period, was called Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. In 1997, the dean began reporting directly to the university's Provost. The records contain correspondence and other files relating to the administration of and programs in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Of particular interest are files dealing with the expansion of medical education in North Carolina, including the expansion of the School of Medicine at Chapel Hill from a two-year to a four-year program and the establishment of East Carolina University's School of Medicine in the 1970s. Also of interest are files related to the many research centers of the School of Medicine, especially the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and there are numerous files on the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers Program, the North Carolina Memorial Hospital, University of North Carolina Hospitals, and UNC Physicians and Associates (earlier the Medical Faculty Practice Plan). School of Medicine deans who figure significantly in these records include W. Reece Berryhill, Isaac M. Taylor, Christopher C. Fordham, and Stuart Bondurant. Also included are recordings of Your Health, a weekly radio program produced by the Department of Family Medicine.

Records pertaining to the School of Medicine's Program Planning Committee, a standing committee which was active from approximately 1983-1994. Materials include committee reports, correspondence, meeting minutes, surveys, and task force reports and files relating to various fields of medical research. Acquired as part of University Archives.

The School of Nursing of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was established, concurrent with the University Medical Center, as a result of the North Carolina Medical Care Commission's 1946 recommendations. The school's first dean was appointed in 1950 and its first students admitted in the fall of 1951. Today the school offers coursework leading to both baccalaureate and graduate degrees in nursing. Until 1997, the Dean of the School of Nursing reported to the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. Since 1997, the dean has reported to the university's Provost. Records of the School of Nursing include correspondence, meeting minutes, annual reports, and reports of faculty committees, materials related to surveys by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and National League for Nursing, as well as files pertaining to course development and to faculty research, including grant applications.

The University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy was established in March 1897 by an act of the University Board of Trustees. Upon its founding, the School was located in New West building and led by Dean Edward Vernon Howell. In 1912, in need of more space, the School moved to Person Hall. In 1925, the School moved into a building formerly occupied by the Department of Chemistry, which in 1931 was renamed Howell Hall. The School remained there until 1959, when a new Pharmacy building, Beard Hall, was completed. In 1997, School of Pharmacy alumnus Banks D. Kerr donated two million dollars to the School for a new facility. Kerr Hall was dedicated in 2003. The same year, another alumnus, Fred Eshelman, pledged $20 million to the school. In the following years, Eshelman committed an additional $110 million to the school. In 2008, the School was renamed the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in his honor. Records consist of issues of the UNC Pharmacy Student Newspaper, 1962-1965, and School of Pharmacy documents, 1984-1985.

Courses in public health were first offered at the University of North Carolina in 1933 in the School of Public Administration. With the discontinuation of the School of Public Administration in 1936, the Division of Public Health was established in the School of Medicine with Milton J. Rosenau as Director. The Division's emphasis on graduate-level training increased until, in 1940, it was designated as the School of Public Health, with Dr. Rosenau as Dean. The Division, and then the School, was an important force in the early public health movement in North Carolina. Currently the Dean of the School of Public Health reports to the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs.

The School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded in 1920 as the School of Public Welfare. Fieldwork has been a component of the curriculum for second-year students since at least the 1930s.

The Student Consumer Action Union (SCAU) was established at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972 as an agency of Student Government supported by student fees. Its purposes were to protect student consumer rights and improve consumer-merchant relations in the Chapel Hill-Research Triangle area by developing educational, investigative, and advocacy programs. The union focused its efforts on price levels and merchandising practices, food quality and pricing, health care, rental rates, landlord responsibilities, and tenant rights. Records of the Student Consumer Action Union include annual reports, financial records, its constitution and bylaws, general correspondence, its office manual, publicity materials, and copies of its publications and related correspondence. Subjects of the publications include automobile repair, banking, restaurants, health care, and rental housing.

When first organized in 1904, the Student Government of the University of North Carolina consisted of only the Student Council, which was solely judicial in function. In 1921, the executive function of Student Government was established when the first student body president was elected to replace the senior class president as head of the Student Council. In 1938, the first Student Legislature was organized. The Student Legislature was replaced in 1973 by the Campus Governing Council, and was renamed Student Congress in 1986. The Student Council continued to be the primary judicial body on campus, trying all cases involving Honor System and Campus Code violations. In 1968, a student Supreme Court was established, replacing the previous Constitutional Council in its jurisdiction over all other student court appeals and original cases involving constitutional questions. The Women's Association, made up of all women students, was organized as a social organization in 1917 and became a governing body in 1921. The Women's Council served as an executive body and a disciplinary power for Honor System and Campus Code cases involving women. In the 1940s, the Coed Senate was established as a subsidiary body to the Student Legislature to pass laws affecting only women students. It merged with the Student Legislature in 1956.

The university opened its first infirmary in 1858. Beginning in 1890, members of the medical faculty were responsible for treating students there. The infirmary, however, had no full-time physician until 1919, when the first university physician was appointed. The name infirmary continued to be used informally to designate the building; but as early as 1938, the university physician's annual report referred to the entity as the University Health Service. By the late 1940s, that name had changed to Student Health Service. Originally, the university physician reported to the president, then later to the chancellor, of the university. With the creation of the Division of Student Affairs in 1954, the university physician began reporting to the head of that division, the dean of student affairs (later vice chancellor for student affairs). In 1959, the university physician's title was changed to director of the Student Health Service. Records include correspondence to and from the Directors of the Student Health Service, as well as numerous reports and committee and staff meeting minutes. Files pertain to administrative matters, including space and budget needs, and to various health concerns and issues faced by the Student Health Service. Of particular interest are files relating to sanitary conditions on campus in the 1940s; women's health in the 1970s; the planning and implementation of medical reimbursement insurance for students; the role of testing, self-study, and assessment in counseling, vocational, and other student services during the 1940s-1970s. Student Health Service directors who figure prominently in these records include Edward M. Hedgpeth, James A. Taylor, and Judith R. Cowan.

The University's Student Stores sell textbooks and other books, school supplies including computers, and clothing and various souvenir items bearing University logos. Sales from these sales fund scholarships.

In 1999 the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill established its Summer Reading Program for incoming freshmen and transfer students. Each year students are asked to read an assigned book over the summer and, on the day before the fall semester begins, participate in a two-hour discussion of the book with select faculty and staff members.

The Learning Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a center for academic development and support. It is the result of the consolidation of several such programs and services over the past fifty years. It is part of the Center for Student Success and Academic Counseling in the College of Arts and Sciences under Academic Services. Missions of the Learning Center and its predecessor programs include improving retention and graduation rates; preparing students for college-level work; supporting the academic development of student athletes and students with learning disabilities; and promoting the engagement and academic development of minority students.

The ad hoc University Committee on Allied Health was appointed in April 1973 by Provost J. Charles Morrow and Dr. Cecil G. Sheps, Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. The committee was chaired by Dr. Donald A. Boulton, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, and was directed to investigate the status and needs of the allied health programs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with specific focus on provisions for transfer students from the state's two-year community colleges. On 20 February 1974, the committee submitted its report recommending a new degree structure for the allied health professions programs.

In 1981, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill established the University Management Development Program to develop leadership skills among its employees in managerial positions. In 1983, a group of managers formed the University Managers' Association as a way to continue the networking that had begun among the early graduates of the University Management Development Program.

Since 1957, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has required the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and other member institutions to conduct periodic, formal self-studies as part of the process of accreditation by the Association. In 1993, with the creation of the Self-Study Steering Committee, the University began a process that ended in 1995 with the publication of a lengthy self-study report and a visit by the Southern Association's Reaffirmation Committee. The University Reaccreditation Office was established to provide clerical and administrative support to the Steering Committee and its task forces; it was disbanded at the conclusion of the self-study.

University Women for Affirmative Action (UWAA) was organized on 27 February 1973 in response to the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Affirmative Action findings that discriminatory practices in hiring and promotion appeared to be widespread on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The goals of the organization were to work against discriminatory hiring and promotion practices, to work to equalize salary and fringe benefit levels, and to promote the organization of a comprehensive University-sponsored day care facility for children of University employees and students. The UWAA was organized into five caucuses: (1) faculty, (2) EPA non-faculty employees, (3) SPA personnel, (4) graduate students, and (5) undergraduate students. Representatives of each caucus formed a steering committee, which selected the coordinator and other officers. By mid-1974, UWAA membership had declined to the point that only the steering committee remained active. Functions of the UWAA had been assumed by the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Affirmative Action and the faculty Committee on the Role and Status of Women. Records of University Women for Affirmative Action (UWAA) include minutes of meetings, attendance lists, correspondence, publicity material, and other documents.

The University of North Carolina Utilities Study Commission was authorized by an act of the 1971 North Carolina General Assembly and was appointed 30 November 1971 by Governor Bob Scott. Its role was to study whether the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill should divest itself of its water, sewer, electric, and telephone systems. The commission included representatives from the university, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Orange County, and state government, as well as former members of the State Utilities Commission. The commission met monthly to discuss the need for and feasibility of divestment by the university. A final report to the Board of Governors was submitted 14 August 1972, recommending the sale of the university-owned telephone system and off-campus electrical system. It also recommended a transfer of the water utilities facility to the Town of Chapel Hill. The commission continued to meet through May 1976 negotiating the sale and transfer of the utilities. Records of the University of North Carolina Utilities Study Commission include correspondence, minutes of meetings, reports, and documents regarding the electric and telephone systems.

The Women's Concerns Coalition formed in the summer of 1988 in preparation for the installation of Chancellor Paul Hardin. Its purpose was to allow leaders from various campus organizations that dealt with issues of concern for women to present their views and priorities to the new chancellor with a unified voice. Following Chancellor Hardin's installation, the group regularly discussed university reports and policies pertaining to women. Meetings and discussions on such topics became the basis for coalition statements and recommendations that were presented to campus administrative leaders. These statements dealt with issues ranging from child care to faculty development to harassment policies. Among the groups represented in the coalition were the University Affirmative Action Office, the American Association of University Professors, the Association for Women Faculty, the faculty's Committee on the Status of Women, the Women's Studies Program, the Black Faculty-Staff Caucus, the Chancellor's Advisory Committee, the State Employees' Association, the Office of the Provost, and the ad hoc Sexual Harassment Committee.

WUNC is the non-profit public radio service of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, broadcasting to central and eastern North Carolina through stations located in Chapel Hill, N.C., Rocky Mount, N.C., and Manteo, N.C., and streaming online at wunc.org. WUNC was located in Swain Hall on the campus of the University of North Carolina from its creation in the 1940s until 1999, when it moved off campus to the James F. Goodmon Public Radio Building in Chapel Hill. WUNC began broadcasting intermittently as an AM radio station in the 1940s, switched to FM on 3 November 1952, went off-air in 1970, and was reinstated as a National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate on 3 April 1976. WUNC initially provided listeners with a combination of daytime and evening cultural affairs commentaries, news, and music; in 2001, the station switched to a 24-hour local and national news- and information-based programming format.

Campus radio station WCAR was founded in fall 1969 out of the conglomeration of several stations based in campus residence halls. WCAR was established in Granville Towers, but moved to Ehringhaus residence hall soon after. In 1973, new WCAR offices and studios were constructed in the Carolina Union. Through the 1970s, students pursued the establishment of an FM station. On March 18, 1977, FM station WXYC went on the air. The station is credited with producing the first internet radio broadcast in 1994. Records include correspondence, documentation of facilities and equipment, records related to the FCC approval process, timelines, memorabilia, and clippings. Also included are materials from the WXYC 40th Anniversary Symposium held in March 2017. Digital content in this collection consists primarily of scanned copies of the physical records.
